FILIPIÑANA, Rafael Manuel’s razor-sharp Manila-set class satire, is now playing at Film Forum.

★★★★ "Brilliantly biting...In a year of several standout debuts, Manuel’s ranks among the most impressive. The microcosm he meticulously constructs makes for a rivetingly caustic indictment of his homeland." – Carlos Aguilar, RogerEbert.com

WILD STYLE screens in two weeks on Sunday, September 20 at 8:10pm, with a special intro by director Charlie Ahearn.

Don’t miss Ahearn’s raucous, semi-documentary portrait of early hip-hop culture in the South Bronx, featuring Lee Quiñones, Sandra "Lady Pink" Fabara, Fab 5 Freddy, Grandmaster Flash, and Patti Astor.

“Nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days of hip-hop and spraycan art, of the burned-out and derelict Bronx.” – The Guardian

Masaki Kobayashi’s KWAIDAN 怪談 opens this Friday, September 11 in a new 4K restoration of the director’s cut.

Based on a collection of folk tales by ex pat Lafcadio Hearn (which will be on sale at our concession), Kobayashi’s sumptuous first color film is an eerie, enthralling anthology of ghost stories, as meticulously crafted as they are deeply unsettling.
